WARNING: Editing the metabase incorrectly can cause serious problems that may
require you to reinstall any product that uses the metabase. Microsoft cannot
guarantee that problems resulting from incorrectly editing the metabase can be

3. Click the Home Directory tab, and then click the Configuration command
button.
4. Click the App Mappings tab, select the .pl extension in the Application
Mappings list, and then click Remove.
5. Select the .plx extension, and then click Remove.
6. Click OK twice to close the dialog boxes.
7. Recycle the IISADMIN service, to make sure that the changes are immediately
written to the metabase.
8. Quit the Internet Service Manager.
